Developer warns next Minecraft Xbox 360 Update could be a ways off

4J Studios is working away on TU12 for Minecraft on the Xbox 360. After Title Update 11 brought about a number of new features for the game, Minecraft fans have already been patiently awaiting the next patch. Last month we heard from 4J who warned that June would not see the arrival of the next update, and again this month, the developers are saying that they’re still going to need some time to crank out the latest update.

“Lots of changes in the way the code works underneath the game,” said 4J Studios via Twitter. “We’re still working on TU12, there are lots of software architecture changes needed for this update. Thanks for your continued patience.”

4J Studios definitely have their plate full when it comes to Minecraft. They just released a disc-based version of the game, and are currently working on both the Xbox 360 versions of the game, and the recently announced Xbox One version of Minecraft.

When Title Update 12 does arrive for Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition, it will feature Redstone Blocks and Jungle Landscape. From the sounds of it, probably a lot more as well. The studio did not give an ETA on when to expect this update.

Update: Title Update 12 has been released. For the complete listing of features in the latest Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition Update go to the next page by using the arrows above.

4J Studios has also announced that Minecraft Mash-Up Packs will arrive in September. The first pack will be a Mass Effect 3 themed pack that allows players to create all-new worlds in Minecraft, with new character skins, blocks, music, and more. For more details on Mash-up Packs, head here.

There has been no mention of when the next Minecraft Update will arrive. 4J Studios has not even mentioned when fans should expect Title Update 13 for the game.
